2EZ!

life is so much easier as a laker fan. Yea ok, we lost in the playoffs, but it was a sweep, quick and easy. it just wasn’t our year, you can’t win an NBA championship every year, it happens. well ok, we lost to the Mavericks. once we lost, we, Laker fans, started to root for the Mavs because if you lose in the playoffs, you want to lose to the eventual NBA champions. and Miami? Lebron? I, as a laker fan, hate those who think lebron is better than kobe. Now that the lakers are out, I want nothing more than to see lebron and the Miami heat lose! In the conference finals, I had a dream, I wanted lebron to feel some pain. I wanted the finals to be the heat vs the mavs. And I wanted the mavs to beat the heat for Dirk’s first championship! It’s a wynn-wynn situation, lebron loses, and the lakers end up losing to the eventual champions. Awesome, kobe v lebron? Not even close, kobeeee! So no, we didn’t win a championship, but we still WIN. must be nice to be a laker fan? it is

and not only that, I can talk a lot of shit now that I’m a laker fan. It’s funny how all these warrior fans think they’re something now with jerry west and mark Jackson. not gonna happen. most importantly, I love how when people ask me a question about kobe or the lakers, and I don’t know the answer, i can just say “KOBEEEE” and I win. Do you think the lakers need to make any changes in the offseason? Um, nah, we’ll be fine as long as we have KOBEEEEE. Okok, but would you consider trading pau or bynum? bro, it doesn’t matter, as long as we have KOBEEE. What do you think about the coaching change? It doesn’t change anything, Phil Jackson is overrated, we still have KOBEEEE, and that’s all we need. Shaq retired, any thoughts on his time as a laker? nah man, kobe gave him all his rings, shaq’s weak, KOBEEEE

i think i'm kidding

SINCE JUMP STREEEEEEET

I’m officially looking to sell my glove. I’m looking to get 2/3 of my money back. I want Madison Bumgarner’s glove. I shouldn’t have bought a glove with holes in the web. If I have a son, and he wants to pitch, I don’t want him to tip his pitches. (i think i'm half kidding, i think)

The basketball team I play for lost last Sunday to the Frisco Hawks. They had pretty nice uniforms and like our first game, we looked like 14.5 point underdogs pregame. Btw, I thought San Francisco people hate the term “frisco”, guess not. I played horribly. Had a couple turnovers, 0-2 from the field, 1-2 from the line, maybe 2 rebounds. But let’s be real, I was shooting like 30% from the field in the first couple games, so I was due for a bad game. I even got called for traveling, haaaaahh, it was hilarious. I never travel, I’m not quick enough to travel, I got flat feet homie

today, we lost by about 25 or so. the other team shouldn't have been in the rec league. but whatever. had a bounce back game, 9 points, 3 treys, shot 3-8 i think. condition wise, it was horrible, i only got about 4 hours of sleep before we had to play, and i subbed myself out once the game started after only 3 minutes game time.

these nba playoffs were weak. the conference finals both went 5 games only, that was extremely weak. in the past few nba playoffs, i was strictly a laker-hater. this year, after the lakers lost, i was strictly a playoff basketball fan, i wanted just to see game a game 7. i wanted to see a must-watch game, a superbowl. ok ok, i know the mia-dallas games have been pretty exciting. but i guess i shot myself in the foot there. i wanted miami to win only because of the $50. but it's impossible, in my opinion, to hate on dallas. i really really wanted dirk to win a championship. and i'm a big fan of mark cuban too. kidd too. weak, i never thought that the lakers would get swept in the playoffs, dallas/dirk wins the championship, and i would STILLLL be unsatisfied. bull shit


Cliffs:
Guy on youtube collects cards. He makes 25 “mystery packs”. Each pack cost $60. Each pack consists of 1-6 cards that have a combined “sell” value of $40 to the ultimate chaser card: the Bryce Harper auto Bowman card. I decide to buy a pack, the most I’m losing is $20, and I have a shot at the Bryce. let's gambooool

Now, the guy assigns me randomly to pack #14. He opens them live on Blogtv. I do not have an account on Blogtv. Anyway, the day he opens them, he posts a youtube video with a link to his blogtv room/site. I was just watching the giants/cards game, so I click it and start to watch him open the packs. Blah blah blah, he opens 20 of the 25 packs. No harper auto. So I have a 1 in 5 chance of getting the Bryce harper auto! I quickly make a blog tv account so I can chat. FUCKING LOSER, I KNOW. I jokingly ask in chat “does anyone want to buy my pack for a premium?”. About 4-5 ppl typed in chat “100” “105” “110”. I ask if they are serious, and they say they are. I thought I was joking, but this could get interesting. So anyway, 5 packs left, 1 pack has a Bryce harper auto which could sell on ebay from 400-500. The other 4 packs have values of about $40 each. Therefore, I calculated that the total value of the 5 packs are about 420+50+50+50+50=580. $620 divided by 6 is about $125. I think I’m being generous about these values, and I took into account ebay fees. By the way, the owners of the other 4 packs are not in the room, and the guy gave me the option of letting another pack be opened, and then re negotiate a “deal”. Long story short, I sell my pack for $150, book the $90 profit. He opens my pack, and bang, Bryce harper auto. Lol of course it would be there. here's the link to the vid: http://www.blogtv.com/Shows/583536/date/bePubeZEaeNwZ23vbH

i've gone back and forth, and i've concluded that i made the right decision. the only argument to why I SHOULD NOT have taken the deal, was that i should have "gambled". but if i wanted to gamble, i could just play poker on bodog, or bet on sports. or i could buy 10,000 shares of apple or stock X. therefore, i couldn't pass on the deal, i couldn't pass on the value that the guy offered me. He offered to pay $150 for something that i valued at $125. i'll take the deal

to recap, i decided to take the "take the deal" in the mystery packs and got effed, i decided to let my MIAMI bet ride (i could've locked in a profit anytime until game 5). and got effed. 0/2. but to be fair, to lock in the MIA profit, i would have had to GIVE UP value in order to do so. basically paying for insurance. and there's a reason why insurance companies make a shit-ton of money

BOOOOOM

ehh, i heard about this documentary about a year ago, but was a little disappointed by the trailer. i thought it was going to focus on the young online guys that just killed it in the mid 2000s. but instead, it looks like it's focusing more on the live scene. live poker sucks

the boom of online poker, to the death of online poker.

i'm still playing husngs on bodog poker, the games are pretty soft, but the software has always been horrible. however, i requested a check about 10 business days ago, haven't received the check yet, but they emailed me and said they are experiencing "delays of 2-4 business days". uh oh

damn i love jeff van gundy, calling out OKC fans for "lack of basketball IQ" haha
